Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Combat and Dialogue Speed

So far I love the overall feel and energy this game provides. It does truly feel like I'm playing out a game of D&D through a CRPG format and that's fantastic to me. I will say, an option to increase the speed of combat would be a huge QoL improvement. To be able to increase it to 2x or even 3x speed so larger encounters dont take an hour to get through would be lovely. Same goes for dialogue, though I do enjoy all the conversations and voice acting so far, if I have to repeat a conversation, I'd rather have the option to quickly jump through it. I'm sure this is in the works already if not already an option I just missed in the key bindings, but just wanted to throw it out there. Keep up the great work, I'm still gonna be playing this up to and well after 1.0 launch

Actually it's kinda the opposite for me.

Sure, when I'm repeating a conversation it'd be nice for it to move a little faster (as the space-skip can make things funky or break or just end the whole thing prematurely on occasion), but the combat I'd appreciate slowing DOWN a bit.

I'm forever trying to move the camera around to catch what's going on in larger fights (like the goblin attack at the gates) because when you rely on the fight-controlled camera that jumps to each actor it often looks awful or glitches into a wall and before you can catch what's gone on or seen a saving throw it blips out or flicks over to someone else.

So combat for certain could do with slowing a little or leaving the tooltips up for longer, at least a pause between actors swapping turns anyway so I can see the lingering effects they've had on a fight.

In that case a pause button in combat would also be helpful. It can get a bit out of hand when there are other NPC's fighting as well on a different front so having the ability to pause and focus would be a welcome improvement.
